a voluntary evacuation order in laurel, maryland has been lifted. >> more snow means nor school delays in virginia. in maryland -- >> this week, if you didn't like the weather, stick around. the next day will be quite different. >> really. >> tucker barnes joins us with more on what we can expect today. >> hi, allison. welcome back. have to love the weather around here. this morning, snow showers. not a terribly big deal. temperatures overnight have fallen below freezing. what is falling is getting a chance to stick on grassy surfaces, roadways as well. that will be the case another hour or so. most of the day will feature sunshine and cold temperatures. still got this last band of

snow moving through. there's a live look at radar. snow continues generally western side of the beltway, and then spots to the east of that still getting pretty good snow and we've had banding that set up. parts of the area have received anywhere between a coating and about half inch of snow so far and it continues to fall out there. what's going to happen is it's pushing off quickly to the east. and should be out of here i'd say another hour or so. viewers along the eastern shore and lower eastern shower, will be longer for you. most of your day will feature cold temperatures, sunshine, and a lot of wind. let's do our maps and get to the winter weather advisory. first, temperature now at reagan national fallen to 30 degrees. it's cold enough for it to stick. 27 at dulles. 28 at bwi marshall. here's a look at your winter weather advisory, in effect until 10:00 this morning. probably changed since you went to bed last night. it's going to snow, of course we know that at this point.

and how much snow? coating, worst case scenario, maybe an inch in the next hour or so. that will be about it. wind picks up. cold temperatures to stay. sunshine this afternoon with temperatures falling back into we have more snow on the seven- day. details on that coming up in a minute. julie, big smile on your face. she's got traffic for you. >> that's because the next time you drag me out in the snow i'm throwing a football at you. here we are live, this is colesville road. started the show it was dry. that's started to dissipate. wet pavement to deal with. and ramps and overpasses, this is colesville road as it crosses over 495. as you can see, the less traveled areas following tracks from the person in front of us. definitely seeing that light coating of snow to the left and the right side. be very careful. grassy areas definitely covered. big white fluffy flakes coming down outside of our studio. allow extra time on the roads. make sure you have plenty of wiper fluid. american legion bridge, and for the most part it looks like the

roadways is just wet. we are concerned about the ramps, bridges and overpasses. northbound i-95 with lanes open. no issues reported now. heavy volume out of dale city. slow newington to the beltway. across the 14th street bridge, allow extra time here, delays slowing at the beltway headed north to the potomac. that's a check of your fox 5 on- time traffic. thanks, julie. we are following breaking news from overseas from turkey of an explosion at the american embassy. we're showing you live coverage from turkish tv from the scene. the video shows ambulances and emergency vehicles near the embassy. a turkish police official says a suicide bomber blew up explosions and two were killed. reports of several injuries. again, an explosion near the u.s. embassy in the capital of turkey. we'll bring you pdates as soon as we get them. more breaking news now,

this time from new york city. that is where former mayor ed koch has died from congestive heart failure. he had been in and out of the hospital throughout month of january, suffering from fluid in his lungs and legs. he was readmitted monday with shortness of breath. but doctors moved him into intensive care yesterday. koch served for three terms from 1978 through 1989, and is credited with saving the city from financial ruin. ed koch was 88 years old. the man wanted for shooting a school bus driver and kidnapping a 5-year-old boy in alabama is still holed up in an underground shelter. negotiators continue to talk to the man identified as jimmy lee dikes through a 4-inch pipe. investigators say dykes has strong anti-government views and the shooting of the bus driver may have been a hate crime. meanwhile, the community continues to hold out hope for

the hostage, gathering for a series of village ims and church services. police say there's no indication that dykes has hurt the child. the child reportedly has an autism-like disorder as well as adhd. police have been delivering medication to him through the pipe. happening today, a former culpeper police officer convicted of manslaughter heads back to court. today a judge will decide if the verdict should be tossed out because jurors consulted a dictionary while deliberating. the attorneys for the defendant say that shows the panel was confused about their instruction. today is hillary clinton's final day on the job. and as she leaves, she is issuing a parting warning about iran about meddling in the civil war in syria. she warned about iran sending more fighters and upgraded military supplies to the

government of syria, which is fighting a civil war. mrs.clinton also spoke about the need for equality for women around the world. >> if women and girls everywher were treated as equal to men in rights, dignity and opportunity, we would see political and economic progress everywhere. so this is not only a moral issue, which of course it is, it is an economic issue and a security issue and it is the unfinished business of the 21: 00 -- 21st century. the city's mayoral race may be more than a year away, but talk of who is willing to campaign is a possibility. one possibility is tom wells who stopped by our studios last

night. lauren demarco has more. good morning. >> reporter: councilman wells says he'll get the ball rolling monday with an exploratory committee. where he is known for fighting to clean up the river with the back tax and looking into hearings that police were not investigating sexual assaults properly. mayor gray hasn't announced if he'll run. the city has 1. $5billionin the bank, development across d.c., and more than a thousand people are moving to the city each month. of course, ethics will be a big focus in the next election. two council members have resigned, charged with felonies and several of mayor gray's campaign workers pleaded guilty to campaign crimes. mayor gray himself is under

investigation from federal prosecutors and councilman wells weighed in about that last night on fox 5. >> but the thing that most certainly will derail if for the city is a government that has a crisis in ethics and certainly a government that loses the confidence of people we govern. that is something we can't have happen and it's why i'm exploring a run for mayor to keep the progress of our great city going. >> reporter: wells is just one of several possible contenders in the next race, along with other council members. ward 2 council member jack evans and ward 4 council member muriel bowser. tommy wells of ward 6 expected to meet with an exploratory committee wednesday. back to you, tony. >> lauren, thank you very much. making headlines, it's the first of the month, and that means it's time for the monthly job outlook. today the labor department will release the january

unemployment report. experts say it will likely show job growth remained steady, even though paychecks shrunk. added 155,000 jobs last month, enough to leave the unemployment rate unchanged at 7.8% is the prediction. but we'll find out for sure if about an hour. beyonce breaks her silence. she comes clean about whether she lip-synched the song. >> and she was great when she did it. >> i haven't seen it yet. >> was wonderful. first, a little more than two days until baltimore takes a shot at super bowl glory. good morning, dave. >> good morning. two days to greatness. all this talk of deer antler sprays and brother versus brother. it's almost over and almost time to play the game. we hear from the ravens' champ and the man leading the charge sunday. >> as we take you to the break, a live look outside. snowy friday morning. we'll get the latest weather and traffic from tucker and

new chief and joins us. congratulations to you. >> thank you so much. >> when you hear that first woman of color, cmo there, are you like, is that me, or yes, and here we go? >> yes, we're ready, here we go. i like to think of it not in terms of so much being a woman and minority, but the best candidate for the job. >> and i love that. >> actually one of two. so there's a new model at children's. we have two chief medical officers. >> tell us what that means in your future for the vision of children. >> it's an innovative model in it takes into the account with health care reform, the focus will shift more so to the ambulatory setting and community. instead of having patients as much in the hospital, the goal is to keep them out of the hospital. so you have to have individuals that focus on the care, but

also the ambulatory care. >> what are we doing now? child gets sick, maybe we go right to the emergency room. how does that model hope to save time, probably, money probably? >> sure. >> how does it help? >> we're trying to make sure that kids and adolescents receive the care they need in the appropriate setting. as opposed to going to the emergency department when you have a condition that's not necessarily an emergency type condition, you want them to be seen by in a patient centered medical home. by their primary care provider in settings that are not as intense in terms of acutity and expense. you want them to be seen in their primary caramel home. >> you are not just an m.d., but m.b.a. and i'm sure that has to help as far as the new set of eyes that look at the inner workings of the hospital. >> indeed. when i decided to go back to

business school, i didn't realize that the field would evolve the way it has. having the skill set as it relates to being a clinician and a business woman i think is important, particularly in this new health care environment. >> right. you know, brag on the hospital a little bit, because it is the pediatric center -- >> it is, it is. >> -- here. the closest one, perhaps philadelphia is the next. what kind of care has children's always given and continues to give? >> so one of the real privileges for me is the fact i work with a fabulous team of doctors, nurses, clerical staff. it is a fabulous team. we have what i consider to be outstanding providers in terms of the care that we giver, not just to the community, but to the nation as a whole. when we think of children's national, we are in the communities, seven health centers, but we also serve the nation as a whole. and i think that's an important message. >> we're showing some of your

points here. i didn't want them to go away. two medical units, one dental unit. serving wards five, six, seven and eight. and expanded services to prince george's county as well. >> correct. we have seven health centers, five are in the community and two are hospital basissed. in addition to that, we have three mobile medical units. we're able to get to kids in the neighborhoods where they live, of the three units, two provide sort of medical services. one that provides dental services. in the past we did focus in terms of the health centers affiliated with the goldberg center. we focused on the district of columbia. now we're also providing care in prince george's county through our mobile medical unit. in addition to what we do in the city, we also have regional outpatient centers in the tri- state area. it's the full continuum of care we provide. >> we have about a minute left.

i want to ask, moving forward, is there anything in your background or in your vision that you could add to the hospital, anywhere to expand? >> so you know, i think that my background in terms of the work that i've done, i started out as a school physician many years ago. it gives me sort of a lens into the community needs that i'm able to bring to the forefront as we plan for services for our families. it's an exciting time to lead. i work with a fabulous team of individuals and i'm privileged to be in this position. >> thanks for stopping by. >> thank you for having me. >> and telling us about the next phase. it's children's hospital to us, but actually the national children's medical center. >> it is. >> we'll be right back.

it is time to say good morning and hello to our facebook fan of the day. today we say good morning to janet hammond dickey. janet is not only a fan of ours, but also of the baltimore ravens. we wish her good luck on this sunday. for your chance to be fan of the day, go to our facebook page and post a comment under janet's really pretty picture. this morning we're learning more about golf. did you know the first golf tee was patented by an african- american? >> i did not. >> he got fed up with the old method of pinching sand to make a mound for the ball. he invented a wooden golf tee. >> who knew? holly morris has more on all things golf this morning live from the washington golf show. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. the washington golf show opens today. today also marks the start of black history month. so we are celebrating both. we are doing so by introducing

you to dr. calvin sinett. he's a man whose book we think you should definitely read. for generations african- americans have loved the sport of golf. unfortunately, the game hasn't always loved them back. and that is the premise behind the book "forbidden fairways." thank you. >> thank you for having me. >> your book came out some time ago? >> some time ago. >> 1998. at the time when it came out, people said it really provided a service, because it was a story that needed to be told. talk to me a little bit about that. >> well, i would say that those who said that are quite correct. up until that time, nothing really of substance had been published about the history of blacks and golf. so i decided to see if i could remedy that situation and came out with the book after five years of research. fortunately, i lived not too

far away from the library of congress -- >> one of the perks of living in d.c., right? >> absolutely. and i was able to research much of my material from the black newspapers, because the library of congress has an enormous collection of older black newspapers. it was from there that i got so much of my material. >> which was essential, because mainstream media didn't cover the story . >> absolutely. and didn't cover the story of black people period. and for golf it was less of a story. but the black newspapers could cover many of the tournaments, many of the social events, and it was an opportunity to go back and review that material that was in the library of congress' archives. >> thank you for your passion and persistence to get this story written. >> thank you. >> your story includes both struggles and triumphs. kind of talk to me a little bit

about both of those. >> the struggles are numerous. i would like to talk more about the accomplishments, because in the face of all of the difficulties that blacks faced at the time in golf, there were remarkable people who came through that period. for instance, there was ann gregory, a black woman golfer out of ohio, who triumphed under great difficulties. formation of the wake robin golf club, again by women, who were rejected by their spouse, who had their own golf clubs and didn't want them to join, even as an auxillary. so they formed their own golf club, with the help of some of the men in the golf club that didn't want them. and they petitioned with the help of their spouses, the

secretary of the interior in 1977 to start the langston golf club here in washington, d.c. so these are some of the, might call them triumphs, that have occurred in the long and trying history of blacks in the game. >> you know, we went by the langston course the other day, got pictures. it's still thriving in the city. can you tell me a little bit about the history of blacks and golf in d.c.? >> the story goes back i would say around to 1915, when the first organized attempts to start a tournament group began. blacks played an instrumental role. dr.george adams, who was the president of the royal golf club, and other people in the d.c. area got together and formed their own association,

and began having tournaments. the first tournament was in 1926 in massachusetts. again, blacks from the washington, d.c. area played a very monumental role. the lincoln memorial golf club was established in 1924. and that was a 9-hole course played on sand and greens. it was awful. it was terrible. it led eventually to the formation of langston golf course with the youth and the talents that was brought up by the women and the men and the royal golf club. >> i wish we had more time, because it's so wonderful to hear your stories and learn the history. before we go, i want to ask you what is your hope for the future for blacks in golf? >> i think it will depend upon

what will happen in the country itself. will they make room for blacks in country clubs? will there be an opportunity for the young people to thrive? because what we have seen is that even though they're having attempts made for the number of minorities in the game, blacks in particular have not done well. we're at a point now where it becomes incumbent upon the country, but particularly the golf establishment to do more than it has done to improve the possibilities for blacks to achieve their potential in the game. >> my last question is, is tiger back? >> i think he is. i hope he is. >> reporter: i so much enjoyed my time with dr. sinnette. i also enjoyed his wife and i

know they're watching this morning. they're almost 90 and are a wonderful team. definitely check out the book. and we have a link to langston golf club and a link to organizations encouraging young people to get involved in golf. that makes joe happy. give me an overview of what's happening this weekend. >> i would say the big theme here is merchandise. we have tons of golf merchandise, great deals, bags, shoes, golf. entertainment. we have a skills competition going on. it's a great thing to get out to with the weather being as it is, and to see the new things in golf tested and try it. >> reporter: it's not good golf weather outside, but good buying for golf weather inside. there you go. myfoxdc.com is our web site. we have a link. show opens today at noon. we'll have more on this golf

ceremony to honor the victims at kennedy space center later today. the race for d.c.'s next mayor is more than a year away. but talk of a possible front- runner is already a hot topic. >> ward 6 council member tommy wells is one person vowing for a bid. he sat down with us last night to talk about his decision. lauren demarco is live outside the wilson building this morning with more on the story. lauren, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, allison. wells will be meeting to launch an exploratory committee monday, so a likely run for mayor. we'll have to find out in the coming days. he has been working in d.c. since the 1980s. he was a social worker. also served on the advisory neighborhood commission. and also on the school board. as a councilman, he fought to clean up the river with the bag tax, and announced his call for

activity. we did get enough of a burst of snow between 5:00 and 7:00, that most of the area has a coating out there. as julie will tell you, lots of issues on the roadways this morning. sunshine later. that will be back in the forecast. it turn windy and cold. cold this morning already, but winds will pick up. highs this afternoon, even with the sunshine, not going to get out of the mid-30s. windchill, will feel like 20s later today. the bigger picture, as i mentioned, sunshine back in the forecast shortly. you can see that little burst of moisture working off to the east and we're getting breaks out in the mountains. sunshine back in the forecast later today. tonight will be clear and cold. much of tomorrow should feature sunshine. tomorrow night and early sunday, guess what, could do it all over again with yet another clipper system. that could bring us light snow accumulations as well. there's your accuweather seven- day forecast. there's phil for groundhog day

tomorrow. snow showers in the forecast tomorrow night, early sunday. maybe tuesday, wednesday. tive several days. let's get the latest from julie. snow is not helping matters. >> you're right. we have a bunch of pictures coming in. i appreciate the tweets, but be careful on the roads. we mentioned this early, 28 near seneca road out of turkey foot, following a twitter from scott graham, picture of wires and pole down on 28. closed off at this time. accident activity woodfield at warfield. pictures in from gaithersburg, trying to head northbound, slick conditions on the highways. crabs ranch, another crash reported. twin brook, an overturned van. ten-car pileup northbound on the gw parkway before you

commit to 123. a lot of activity. traffic is zigzagging by. major tieups headed to the beltway. inbound on the dulles toll road, crash occurred before wolf trap. 66below speed leaving fair oaks to the capital beltway. and accident activity in centreville. you will find big delays now traveling the top stretch of the beltway. college park headed to 270, and of course that van, westbound approaching twin brook. right side of the roadblocks. virus. veirs. it looks like we've got a lot of -- yeah, this is whiteman road in gaithersburg. as you guys try to make your way up from 124, a lot of folks saying slick conditions on the roads. if you can stay home for a while longer, i suggest you do so. that's a check of your fox 5 on time traffic. julie, thank you very much.

from universal background checks to mental health, the debate rages on. it's the big topic on fox news sunday this weekend. chris wallace is host and joins me with a preview. you have some of the heavy weights in this debate on the show this sunday, good morning. >> we do, indeed. good morning to you. if you have any clip of that hearing on capitol hill, you know it was not like any other hearing, because gabby giffords, the congresswoman shot in the head two years ago, came obviously impaired still from the shooting, but bravely spoke a few words and basically said to this congressional committee, and to congress, and to our national leaders, we must act, we must protect the children. sunday we're going to sit down with her husband, former astronaut mark kelly, who obviously is a big supporter of tough gun controls and the head

of the nra, wayne lapierre, who opposes the new control ideas. should be a very interesting show. >> do we have any sense -- obviously we saw what the reaction was that day from those present. but do we have any sense of what her appearance, and frankly the news of that particular day, when there was the shooting of the girl in chicago who had been here in washington for the inauguration, this is having an impact or changing any minds on capitol hill? >> we don't have a hard sense. not like there's a specific piece of legislation out there, a comprehensive package. it's been a tipping point. to go back, certainly those two events, but even further back to newtown in december, that did have an impact. the polls indicated there's increase support for gun control. i would say that there's varying levels of support and various chances for success for

various measures. for instance, i think the assault weapons ban, which dianne feinstein is proposing will be tough. i think that will be the toughest thing to get through. the limit on the size of these magazines, some carry 30 round or 100 rounds, i think there is more support and greater likelihood, but i think that will still be a fight. where there seems to be a shift in opinion is on the background check. because 30, 40, a large percentage of the gun sales in this country, there is no background check. and people are beginning to say, if we can find out that somebody is mentally ill or have a criminal record, they shouldn't get access to the guns. doesn't take guns away from those who should have them, but those who shouldn't have them. that has about 90% in the polls and i think something will happen there. >> chris, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> you can catch fox news sunday at 9:00 sunday morning,

right after fox 5 morning news. big screen debuts still ahead. movie reviewer kevin mccarthy helps us decide what to spend our money on this weekend. >> plus, we're hitting the greens with holly. she'll give us a speak peek at what this year's big golf show has to offer. now it's 8:21. we'll be right back.

we're back with more images of the dangers on the roads today. not a lot of snow, but enough to cause big problems. julie just mentioned this incident that you're seeing a picture of this is an accident with utility poles down on the road. it happened this morning at darnstown road and turkeyfoot road coming out of gaithersburg into rockville. and heard about a possible 10- car accident on the northbound george washington parkway. >> it's too bad. >> only takes a little bit. temperatures fallen back in the 20s. most of the showers, we're done with them. sunshine breaking out to the west. mostly sunny day. windy and cold. >> okay. >> windy and cold. there's leftover snow showers. reduced to a few flurries locally. had a burst of snow between 5:00 and 7:00 a.m. that gave us the coating.

most i've seen so far as accumulations about half inch at dulles. a few of our facebook fans reporting closer to an inch. not a major system, but enough to cause issues and to whiten everything out there. looks beautiful this morning with the cold temperatures and hard to believe we were 70 degrees two days ago. not 70 this morning. in fact, it's cold. 30 now at reagan national. 29 in annapolis. 25 in frederick. one more reminder that the roads will be slick, because anything that's fallen, that's melted off, will refreeze with temperatures in the upper 20s and low 30s. our highs today only in the mid- 30s. mix in the winds, check out the winds, it's not going to feel that warm out there. going to feel like teens and 20s. here's the wind gusts. lots of wind in the wake of our system. this is a cold front ushering in colder air for the afternoon and tonight. most of this out of here by 10:00 a.m.

sunshine this afternoon at 1:00. breezy and cold. cold tonight, clear skies tomorrow morning. cloud up tomorrow night, and we could do it all over again late saturday night and early sunday morning. here's future cast sunday morning indicating snow showers across the area, as we get another clipper system. that's been the theme around here. accuweather seven-day forecast, tomorrow is the big day for the groundhog, and we'll see what happens with that. could be snow showers late tomorrow night and early sunday. believe it or not, could do a few more snow showers early next week as well. that's weather. i'll get an update in a couple of minutes. back to you at the desk. thanks, tucker. hit men and zombies are on screen in new movies opening this weekend. kevin mccarthy gives us his take. he's joining us live from los angeles this morning. hi, kev. >> reporter: hi, how are you?

>> he attended the die hard five premier. i don't know how you're awake now, but i'm glad you are. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. i was here for the huge die hard mural unveiling last night. bruce willis is celebrating the 25th anniversary, since 1988. he shows up and here's a picture here of bruce willis. they unveiled this massive painting on this massive wall behind him. from the original die hard film. and he literally detonated this really cool thing, and it dropped down. it was so awesome to watch. i interviewed him on the red carpet. we'll have that in the next couple of weeks. i told him die hard 3 is my favorite, but he said the first one is ultimately the best one. there's a picture of me in front of the original tower in the movie. i was geeking out. >> do you think bruce willis gets the same respect that like schwarzenegger gets, stallone

gets as far as this franchise? it's pretty awesome. >> reporter: yeah, i think bruce willis is respected more in the acting element. he's a better actor than arnold and sly in my opinion. the movie comes out on valentine's day, which is awesome. >> definitely a chick flick. >> reporter: yeah, exactly. >> let's talk about other releases. "warm bodies." it's an interesting take on the zombie thing, right. how was it? it's comparable to twilight twilight. you have a human being falling in love with a zombie. it's a rom com. the character meets a human being and falls in love with her, and that love sparks him to become more human, which is face nateing. it has an interesting social commentary how we become

zombies, on our cell phones and interacting with e-mails and text. it's slow in the middle, but i think it's a perfect date movie. fun for teenage audiences. twilightesque type crowd. and the actors are great. it's very witty, very ever and well written. i gave it a 3.5 out of 5. i recommend it. >> i do like the trailer a lot, like when she's pretending to be a zombie, and he's like, not so much, whatever he said. tony and i agree this title, okay, leaves something to be desired. bullet to the head is the name of the movie. >> reporter: this title is not helping hollywood at all with the criticisms of movie violence. listen, i'm all for a good action movie. i love predator and rambo. look at the original rambo. only one person died in that movie. the 2008 rambo, 236. the movies have gotten more violent over the years. this movie was directed by a

guy named walter hill. deals with a hit man seeking revenge. teams up with a detective to take down the bad guys. it's a forgettable action movie, but decent action in the film. cool fight sequences with stallone. when you walk out, you're like, okay, the action is good. but as you leave, it's a forgettable film. better off renting rambo or the original older action movies. if you're a huge action fan, matinee. i gave it a 2 and a half. >> sly looks pretty good. looks like the old sylvester stallone what we just saw. >> reporter: he's ripped! they actually used me for the body double. >> makes sense. i didn't want to blow sly's cover. kevin mccarthy, see you soon back here in studio. thank you for joining us today. have a great time in l.a. >> reporter: thanks, allison. >> okay, bye. ♪ and the rocket's red glare ♪
